<description><![CDATA[Wish you'd told me when I was young and single &amp; could research it for you.

My strategy was that if you got to bat a lot, you'd get hits. Seemed to work.

When I was a state legislator, I found that a title helped. Later, I got into Scottish dancing and discovered that a kilt is magic. Try it, guys.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Happy New Year!

I'm sorry to spoil all the fun but do you know what (sometimes) happens if a woman gets too hungry (e.g. low glucose levels)?

Apart from the nagging thing she gets...

...Headaches!!!

<description><![CDATA[&quot;...your free will is actually sugar.&quot;

Scott ~ The word &quot;power&quot; in &quot;Will power&quot; implies that Will in general is strength. But if it's weak, it's not due to lack of sugar; the Will is weak because of lack of exercise...

A quote: &quot;Training the Will is very much the same as training the muscles. Its development is gradual. Only Will can develop Will; consequently you begin with what Will you have and expand and strengthen it through its action upon itself. The weak Will manifests in two phases; over-action and under-action; the former as impulsiveness, impetuousness and the like, and the latter as lethargy, phlegmatism, etc.&quot; -- Author unknown.

...Will is attention and attention is Will. So one way to &quot;expand and strengthen Will through its action upon itself&quot; is to pay attention to your peripheral vision. As Will attracts more Will, you'll feel the energy (via resonance) of that fundamental &quot;law of attraction&quot; you've mentioned in previous blog entries. Here are some 15th c. portraits of men strengthening their Will by paying attention to their peripheral vision:

<description><![CDATA[Wow, this is the first time I've actually been compelled to thank you for your advice, and oddly enough it has nothing to do with the bulk of the post (the sex part).  I too write a comic strip, and I often have trouble concentrating on crafting the next day's installment.  I'm going to try moving that part of my day to right after meals and see if it has any effect.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Trickypickle: No.  The last entry on this subject referenced the result that willpower acts like a finite resource, and recommended taking a girl shopping to exhaust her willpower (which reappeared at the end of this entry, hence the deja vu), but it said nothing about blood glucose level.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Actually, glucose gives you the energy to carry out your free will. Consider a car: gasoline is necessary to drive, but it is not the same as the driver.

You already have the intentions of writing in your mind. You just need energy to do it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I'm no major seductionist, god knows, but I have the feeling that if you're looking for &quot;Better seduction through biochemistry!&quot;, you've probably missed the point by a long, long way already. Basically, you're trying to make palm trees by changing the colour of snowflakes in the Antarctic. Statistics hide a multitude of variation folks, be glad :)]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Giving a woman chocolate will only increase her glucose when she actually eats it; if she doesn't rip open the box and stuff them straight away (which is probably bad manners) I reckon the anticipation of chocolate will increase her insulin and lower the glucose â€“ giving chocolate is good.

<description><![CDATA[Interesting.

Isn't weight loss a matter of willpower?

If so, there is a curious paradox in that the only way to get thin is to eat food that makes you fat...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Scott, I know you always say &quot;Free will doesn't exist&quot; and &quot;willpower doesn't exist&quot; and that it basically comes down to enjoyment units or pleasure units or whatever. Now - let me get this straight. You are saying to free your willy, you must rely on will power (that doesn't exist). Dang it, that means I don't get to get my pleasure unit out.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[SCOTT
&quot;Apparently bringing a woman chocolate will only increase her glucose levels and with that her ability to resist you. &quot;

Actually, here your logic is broken, Scott.  You assume that you are &quot;tempting&quot; to the woman as if you were some sort of hunky George Clooney figure.  For me and you and most of the rest of us, our women actually require willpower IN ORDER TO sleep with us.  Thus, you want to make sure a woman has had a few Mars bars so she can stomach having sex with you.

SCOTT
&quot;alcohol lowers your glucose levels. That fits the theory. Everyone knows they have less will power after a few drinks.&quot;

I think the mechanism by which alcohol lowers inhibitions is more complicated than low glucose levels, though I'm no doctor.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Dil Dude,

Now if science could only create a bionic woman ala &quot;Blade Runner&quot; style.  99% of men's problems would be solved.  You mixed &quot;9 1/2 weeks&quot; with the Discovery Channel here.  Maybe you should eat 2 bananas from now on.
